Why can't I view hexbear.net communities on Voyager app and is there a way to fix it? (lemmy.world)

I see a lot of communities hosted on hexbear.net on trending but when I click the link it says there's nothing there. Why is this the case? I'm using the Voyager app, but I' not sure if that has anything to do with it. Is there a way to make them visible?

Lemmy.world is defederated from Hexbear.net. You can make an account on Hexbear.net or an instance federated with Hexbear.net, like Lemmy.ml or otherwise. Voyager has nothing to do with it, my partner uses Voyager for Hexbear.

    Because .world's admins pre-emptively defederated from Hexbear as a “last resort” (even though, by definition, it was their “first resort”).

    About a year ago: Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement

    Yesterday, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The announcement thread can be found here: https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770.

    Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected.
